Interview with Akira Naka

The final episode of the 10th
anniversary month of the Ropecast is here, and we've saved the best
for last! Akira
Naka is one of the most prolific and popular Japanese
nawashi in the world, and he took the time to answer Gray's unusual
questions. He talks about how he learned from his teacher, why he
teaches in his own style, and even how he handled it when his son
found out his dad was a "dirty old man." You get to hear this and
more in his own voice with the help of a translator and a bit
of saké.
